We remained silent a long time. Posdnicheff sobbed and trembled before  
me. His face had become delicate and long, and his mouth had grown  
larger.  
"Yes," said he suddenly, "if I had known what I now know, I should never  
have married her, never, not for anything."  
Again we remained silent for a long time.  
"
Yes, that is what I have done, that is my experience, We must  
understand the real meaning of the words of the Gospel,--Matthew, V.  
8,--'that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed  
2
adultery'; and these words relate to the wife, to the sister, and not  
only to the wife of another, but especially to one's own wife."  
THE END.  
If the reading of this book has interested you, do not fail to get its  
sequel, entitled "KREUTZER SONATA BEARING FRUIT," by Pauline Grayson,  
which is an exceedingly interesting narrative showing one of the results  
of the ideas set forth in "Kreutzer Sonata." It is bound in paper  
covers and will be sent by mail, postage paid, upon receipt of 25 cents.  
Address all orders to J. S. OGILVIE PUBLISHING COMPANY, 57 Rose Street,
